Critics Review
Likely to amuse and even absorb children for a good while… Has a kind of Where’s Wally?-ish delight in visual minutiae. * The Times Educational Supplement *
Elegant, intelligent, funny, dramatic and totally absorbing; the perfect start to an early familiarity with Homer. * The Guardian *
Brings clarity and humour to these ancient myths… Surely the most entertaining way to explore ancient history. * Junior Education *
“[…] this gutsy, electrifying retelling of both epics… will please both the finicky Homeric scholars and children encountering the full stories for the first time.” * TLS *
